Rapist of 92-year-old victim convicted

Story Highlights

A nursing supervisor was suspicious Nov. 24 when she tried to enter the room of a 92-year-old resident at the Deer Park nursing home and found the door locked.

She unlocked the door and found the woman on her bed, naked from the chest down because her gown had been pushed up to her breasts. Under the woman's bed was a pair of man's pants, underwear and shoes.

The room's private bathroom also was locked. When it was opened, the nursing supervisor saw Samuel Onyenweaku standing there. Onyenweaku, 22, of West Chester, was a nurse's aide at the Amber Park Nursing Home in the 3800 block of E. Galbraith Road.

Onyenweaku was convicted Monday of rape, felonious assault and patient abuse. Hamilton County Common Pleas Court Judge Melba Marsh, hearing the case without a jury at Onyenweaku's request, convicted him.
